Abstract: A speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission is varied according
to an oil pressure which is adjusted by a valve (4) driven by a step motor. The
step motor is feedback controlled so that a real speed ratio coincides with a
target speed ratio determined according to the running conditions of a vehicle.
By determining a feedback gain based on the oil pressure (66), oil temperature (65), real
speed ratio and output shaft rotation speed (63,64) of the transmission, precise
control of the speed ratio according to the running state is realized.

IPC: H04N7/26

Abstract: Motion vectors and associated errors which are determined in the course of encoding a
video signal are used to determine whether respective macroblocks of two or more frames
represent the same subject matter albeit displaced by motion represented by the frames. The
motion vector errors are compared to a predetermined motion threshold. If a particular motion
vector error is less than the motion threshold, the macroblocks corresponding to the motion
vector error are determined to represent substantially identical subject matter and the
corresponding motion vector represents displacement of the subject matter between the frames
due to motion of the subject matter. Accordingly, differences between the macroblocks
corresponding to the motion vector error are determined to be due primarily to noise and not to
differences in the subject. Therefore, a relatively heavy temporal filter is applied between the
macroblocks. Conversely, if a particular motion vector error is not less than the motion threshold,
the macroblocks corresponding to the motion vector error are determined to represent different
subject matter and only a spatial filter is applied to either macroblock. The spatial filter is applied
relatively lightly to reduce noise while minimizing signal loss, e.g., blurring, resulting from the
filtering. The motion threshold is set according to the noise variance of the video signal which is
being encoded. The noise variance of the video signal can be measured using the video signal
acquisition equipment used to acquire the video signal, e.g., a video camera, or can be estimated
from the video signal itself.

Abstract: An optical pick-up apparatus using the knife edge method to detect focus
errors is arranged so that the sub-spot (S s1 ) which gives rise to the sub-beam (B s1 ) which is
intercepted in the detection optical system by the knife edge (11) to a lesser extent is
positioned on the optical disc (2) ahead of the main spot in the recording direction. The
sub-spot (S s2 ) giving rise to the detection sub-beam (B s2 ) which is
intercepted by the knife edge in the detection optical system to a greater extent
is located on the disc behind the main spot relative to the recording direction.
In this manner an imbalance in the amount of light from each sub-beam reflected by
the knife edge to the tracking error photodetector is compensated for by an imbalance
in the reflectivities of the non-recorded portion ahead of the main beam and
the recorded portion behind the main beam.

Abstract: An apparatus and method pulses a broadband optical source
such as an LED, and generates multiple optical wavelength signals
channels which are time division multiplexed onto a single optical channel.
The multiple optical wavelength signals may subsequently be modulated by
low frequency data signals and then transmitted to a receiver as
corresponding multiple independent optical wavelength channels over a
single optical fiber. Both spectral slicing and time division multiplexing
are accomplished by a wavelength channel defining assembly including a
wavelength grating router (WGR) and optical delay lines by using the
periodic routing characteristics of the WGR. The WGR separates the
broadband optical signal appearing at one input port of the WGR into
discrete wavelength bands constituting respective pulses defining the
optical wavelength channels by spectrally slicing the broadband optical
source frequency spectrum with a multiple channel filter. The WGR then
routes each of the wavelength signals to corresponding output ports.
Optical delay lines then loop-back the separate wavelength signals from the
output ports to other WGR input ports determined according to the routing
characteristics of the WGR to multiplex the channels onto a single output
port, while also inserting the delay to separate the wavelength signals in
time.

Abstract: A valve array for supporting objects such as paper
with controlled fluid flow is disclosed. Optional valve
arrays can be used to controllably eject marking agents for
marking or coating a paper or other suitable substrate.
Each valve in the valve array has one or more flap elements
(24) positioned in a valve chamber (16). These flap
elements (24) are movable to alternatively block the fluid
flow through valve chamber outlets with the aid of various
catch mechanisms (34,36) for controllably latching the flap
elements. The catch mechanisms (34,36) have a disabled
state and an activated state for holding and allowing
release of the flap elements. Once the catch mechanismS
(34,36) are disabled, the flap elements are free to move to
another position, provided they can overcome the mechanical
fluid flow forces that tend to hold it in position. To
counter and utilize such forces for moving the flap
elements, an impulse mechanism kicks the flap element into
the valve chamber, away from the catch mechanisms. Since
the position of the flap elements is unstable, oscillations
of the flap elements in the fluid flow will eventually
bring the flap element into catchment range of another
catch mechanism in an activated state.

Abstract: A vertical trench-gated power MOSFET includes
MOSFET cells in the shape of longitudinal stripes. The
body diffusion of each cell contains a relatively
heavily-doped region which extends parallel to the
length of the cell and contacts an overlying metal
source/body contact layer at specific locations. In
one embodiment, the contact is made at an end of the
cell. In another embodiment, the contact is made at
intervals along the length of the cell. In addition,
the power MOSFET contains diode cells placed at
intervals in the array of cells. The diode cells
contain diodes connected in parallel with the MOSFET
cells and protect the gate oxide layer lining the
trenches from damage due to large electric fields and
hot carrier injection. By restricting the areas where
the body contact is made and using the diode cells, the
width of the MOSFET cells can be reduced substantially,
thereby reducing the on-resistance of the power MOSFET.

Abstract: A fuel cell system minimizes the power loss that may occur in a conduction passage during
supply of electric power from a fuel cell (36) to a load. A bypass (48) connects between the input
of a DC/DC converter (38) and the output thereof, and therefore supplies power generated by the
fuel cell (36) to an inverter (44), bypassing the DC/DC converter (38). A changeover switch (37)
selectively changes the connection of the output of the fuel cell (36) between the connection to the
input of the DC/DC converter (38) and the connection to the bypass (48). When the fuel cell (36)
is connected to the DC/DC converter (38), the power from the fuel cell (36) is supplied to the
inverter (44) or a battery (40) via the DC/DC converter (38). When the fuel cell (36) is connected
to the bypass (48), the power from the fuel cell (36) is supplied to the inverter (44), bypassing the
DC/DC converter (38). A cutoff switch (41) disconnects the output of the battery (40) from a
connecting line. That is, the cutoff switch (41) disconnects the battery (40) from the inverter (44),
the bypass (48) and the like when turned off. When turned on, the cutoff switch (41) connects the
